I had been told that Halloween was a month-long activity. It is quite close. We have had many activities already, starting with our an outing to the Zoo last Saturday, followed by our annual Halloween party last Sunday (no pics). Thursday night all of the Buffalo cousins went trick or treating at the mall. Though we didn't manage to stay together and never even saw Ch., I'm pretty sure she was there. Yesterday, Kat trick or treated at school and came home with a boatload of candy (I had NO IDEA there were that many people at her school).
Last night was a fun-filled Halloween party at the Y. Today, since Dan is sick (well, we all are, but he's the sickest), I got her out of the house to go trick or treating at the local community college. That place was jam packed and we had to stand outside in the cold for a long time before we made it in. At least it wasn't yet raining and we're not further east and don't have actual snow to worry about yet. So far she has been tinkerbell, a kitty cat, a butterfly and a dragon (which is an unbelievably cute costume). We still have a neighbor's Halloween party tomorrow and actual trick-or-treating (a very little bit) on Monday evening. Since she goes to bed so early and needs to be well rested for school, instead of going out with the cousins, we are going to do some early trick or treating in the neighborhood before Daddy has to go to class. we might meet some of our neighbors......finally!
